    Next event: Our club battle with a holiday theme at a member's house in Santa Ana, 12-13-25 3pm to 8pm! Non members are welcome to attend and spectate though we will not be officially bringing loaners/demo tanks. It'll be a good place for our new people and prospective members to talk shop, fix tanks, and ask questions with the other members! RSVP with David (socalrctank@gmail.com) for address, the location will not be posted online!

    Another fun day promoting the hobby and allowing the young students to try tank battling for the first time. All $ collected were given back to the school. One student won the grand prize. His number was picked in our raffle and he got to bring home a 1/16 scale Sherman.

    Two more units are ready for our young guests to play tomorrow at the Cerritos Carnival. These two also had their long barrels replaced. Quite better in bringing them to the battlefield.

    The Bulldog is sold. Sorry folks! The mother of a teen member in our club got it for her son. He will enjoy battling in many of our future events.

    Register your club as a non-profit organization so that your friend can claim tax deduction.

    Got this HL M41 in a bundle purchases. I replaced its internal components with HL 7.0 board and installed LegoDEI battle system. It is practically almost new. It has metal gearboxes, tracks and sprockets. It is ready for IR battle. I have the decals so the new owner can place them wherever he pleases. This sale is for SoCal members only. $170 for new member or member who is under 18 years old. Pick up locally at our event .​

    These two Tigers are part of our loaner fleet. For three years, they were abused unintentionally by our guest players at our exhibitions and events. Our guests were normally only instructed for 5-10 minutes. These tanks are now getting their barrels replaced to a shorter version as to hope they would last longer and less "fixing" work on our part after the event. They look funny; however, they serve our purposes. They also fit into the transportation boxes quite well too.
